But it's been a kick-ass venune for years.

Steve Ross still owns the Vogue as he has since the 80's (at one time in partnership w. Dennis Burris when they owned the Patio, Vogue, Bluebird and Jake's/Mars/Axis in Bton together). Dave Kubiak bought the Bluebird a couple years ago after being the long time manager there. <BR/><BR/>The City of Bloomington & tourism folks ougtht to be outraged about this after all their gay travel outreach. Then again, Bton has always claimed to be all progressive & tolerant, yet they have seem to have more hate crimes than anywhere-- some say it's just better identified/reported, others say deep rooted town/gown tension and growing international student population and gay outreach drives it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158109834877301212006-09-12T20:10:00.000-05:002006-09-12T20:10:00.000-05:00I just looked it up and as of 2003 they were still the same owner. We need to use that as well. Tell them that we will boycott both The Bluebird and The Vogue if he performs. Oh and Gary, I talked to one of the bartenders when I called and he said "I think he has changed. He was like that in the early nineties but I don't think he is like that anymore." What an idiot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1158109149778188732006-09-12T19:59:00.000-05:002006-09-12T19:59:00.000-05:00Not sure Lori. If anyone gets any feedback from the Bluebird, please post it here. I haven't received any response to my e-mail yet.Gary R.
